School Disco.

At Paihia School last night we had a school disco
. The juniors one was at 5:30 to 6:30 and the seniors was 6:45 to 7:45.
Just before the disco I got hair cut and dressed up all nice.
Me and my friend Dayton started break dancing.
He won a trophy for it I agreed he was a much better dancer than me.
I bought 2 glow sticks the fat ones and a glowing eyeball ring.
All these people felt sick so I got about 12 bags of lollies for free.

Ukulele Lessons.

In Paihia School we have been taking ukulele lessons. We will be going to these lessons every Wednesday until week five in the whare, and hopefully by week five we can rock on with the ukulele. We learnt how to make the ukulele sound change on the same string and we all it a little strum with the strings all together and it sounded amazing. The thing I did good at was doing it in sequence, the thing I could of done better was pay more attention to to the rhythm she told us to do. I can’t wait until next Wednesday.

Explanation

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to write a explanation about a healthy ecosystems. In our writing we had to explain what a producer, consumer and decomposer, dose is and eat’s. We also said what the balance of an ecosystem was and what would happen if it became unbalanced.



Here is my explanation.

What Makes A Healthy Ecosystem?

An ecosystem is made up of organic and in-organic matter (living and non-living things), a healthy ecosystem needs producers, decomposers and consumers. If an ecosystem gets tampered with it will break and there will be a consequence.

A Producer is a plant, a Producer gets the energy from the sunlight, and when the consumer eats them they get the energy. Producers make their own food by air water and sunlight, that cycle is called photosynthesis.

A Consumer eats the producers which is plants like kelp, trees and sometimes they eat other consumers to survive. A consumer's role in the ecosystem is to eat producers so they don’t get out of control.

A Decomposer is a scavengers that break down dead plants and animals. Decomposers are also bacteria.

An ecosystem is really fragile, so if one ecosystem is unbalanced like we take all the food there will be a consequence. If we eat all the kina the crayfish will die, then the carpet sharks will die, then other sharks will die, and there will be too much kelp in the ocean. So thats what will happen if an ecosystem becomes unbalanced.

Metaphore Peom.

In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to use metaphors confidently. I know I already posted this but that one had mistakes in it and this, one is the improved one. The thing I enjoyed was making the poem. The thing I could do better is maybe to it quick because it took me about a week, and also make it unders better.

Liam is a ninja that hides in the dusk and only comes out in chaos.

Liam is a ninja star that is trapping intelligence in it.

Liam is a nuclear atomic bomb that exploded full of intellect.

Liam is a katana sword that is trapping internal knowledge and facts inside of it.

Liam is a grappling hook swinging through his learning.

Persuasive Letter.

In Te Maunga we have been writing a persuasive letter to our principal, Mrs Lindsay to make her get website called maths hub. Here is my letter.

Dear Mrs Lindsay

I am writing to you because, I  think we should get the Maths Number Hub and all the stages because, it will help us learn better, it will save the teacher's time, and let us learn quicker.

It will help our learning because number hub will let us learn better and quicker, for example when I had a goal I went on to number hub and learnt it the day I got my goal.

Also it will help us learn easier because ,instead of the teachers making a slide and finding activities for us, we can just go on number hub and practice. For example every day and night Whaea Becks has to plan our maths of the day, and give us activities videos and look through books to find things to do for math’s, but we can just go on number hub and it is already there.

The whole school could also use it because the seniors can do it on the chrome books and the juniors can get it on the iPad. For example the juniors get to pick their goal that they can learn quicker, instead of looking through pages and pages in a book, and that will give them less time to learn it.

It is quicker because there are a lot of ways to explain it how to do one goal. You just need to type up number hub and it it there, you don’t need to sign up or anything.

If you think about it, it is like 3 dollars per child. For example we can even do a bake sale and we might get even more then we need.

We don’t have to sit on the mat to long, For example in maths we have to sit on the mat for ages telling Whea becks what we are doing, but now she knows, it is either number hub or a workshop.

If only if we had an amazing principal that will get us all the stages in number hub

So that's why I think we should have all the stages in maths number hub.

The thing I did well was writing the reasons.
The thing I could do better is writing more examples.

Sincerely Liam. B
